03:24Impact
03:26Regular updates can introduce optimizations and bug fixes that improve system performance and stability.
03:334. Optimize Swappiness
03:36Overview
03:37Swappiness controls the tendency of the kernel to move processes out of physical memory and onto the swap disk.
03:45Steps
03:47Steps
03:48Check Current Swappiness
03:50Cat
03:51Proc
03:52Sys
03:53Vm
03:54Swappiness
03:55Set Swappiness value
03:57Edit
03:58Etc
03:59Swayctl
04:00Cnf
04:01And add the line
04:02Vm.swappiness
04:05Equals 10
04:06Apply changes
04:08Pseudo-swissctl
04:10Tlp
04:11Impact
04:13Lowering swappiness reduces swap usage, keeping more processes in RAM and improving performance, especially on systems with ample memory.
04:235. Clean-up junk files
04:26Overview
04:28Temporary files, caches, and unused packages can clutter your system and slow it down.
04:35Commands
04:37Pseudo apt auto remove
04:39Pseudo apt auto clean
04:42Pseudo apt clean
04:44Additional tools
04:46Bleach bit
04:48Pseudo apt install bleach bit
04:50Impact
04:52Regular cleanup frees up disk space and ensures that the system remains lean and fast.
04:586. Optimize the file system
05:02Overview
05:04File systems can become fragmented or misaligned, affecting read slash write speeds.
05:11Steps
05:12Check and repair file system
05:13Check and repair file system
05:15Use fsck to check and repair
05:18Pseudo fsck
05:20F slash dev slash sdxy
05:23Use extension 4 file system
05:26Extension 4 offers better performance and features
05:29Pseudo mkfs.ext4 slash dev slash sdxy
05:35Impact
05:37Impact
05:38An optimized file system improves data access speeds and overall system responsiveness
05:447. Use a performance-optimized kernel
05:48Overview
05:50Custom or performance-tuned kernels can provide significant improvements in system responsiveness and resource management
